Dear Diary

A belated birthday present from Abang & Kakta.

Slightly late though since am on the way to the 3rd trimester already but a good book nevertheless. Recommended read. And recommended to get for yourself or as a gift for any preggie mommies.

Thought for the Day

KEMULIAAN IBU MENGANDUNG DALAM ISLAM

1. Dua rakaat solat wanita yang hamil lebih baik dari 80 rakaat solat wanita yang tidak hamil.

2. Wanita yang hamil dapat pahala puasa disiang hari & pahala ibadat dimalam hari.

3. Wanita yang bersalin dapat pahala 70 thn solat & puasa serta setiap kesakitan pada satu uratnya, Allah bagi satu pahala haji.... 

4. Sekiranya wanita meninggal dunia dalam masa 40 hari selepas bersalin ia dikira sebagai mati syahid.... 

5. Wanita yang beri minum susu badannya kepad anaknya akan dapat 1 pahala daripada tiap titik susu yang diberikannya.

6. Wanita yang beri minum susu badannya kepad anaknya yang menangis maka Allah beri pahala satu tahun pahala solat & puasa.

7. Kalau wanita menyusui anaknya hingga cukup tempoh 2 setengah tahun, maka malaikat dilangit khabarkan berita bahawa syurga wajib baginya.

8. Seorang ibu yang menghabiskan masa malamnya dengan tidur yang tidak selesa kerana menjaga anaknya yang sakit dapat pahala seperti membebaskan 20 orang hamba.

9. Wanita yang tidak cukup tidur pada malam hari kerana menjaga anaknya yang sakit akan di ampunkan oleh Allah akan seluruh dosanya & bila dia hiburkan hati anaknya Allah beri 12 tahun pahala ibadat.

Hanging by a Moment

Heard this song over the radio on the way back home and was transported back 10 yrs into time.

Back then, I had the lyrics as my wallpaper. Though there was no one in particular the song was dedicated to. It was a nice song that I wish I had someone I could dedicate it to at that time.

So to my other half, confidante, best friend and soulmate.. This song is for you...

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you....

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you

27 Weeks

Had my check up this week and am oh so happy to see Little Baby growing so well!

We do know if it is a boy / girl but this time around would like to keep it as a suprise ;)

In comparing the 3 for their tummy movements, Aliah seems the most docile and Jannah still is the most hyper making Little Baby a somewhere in between the two sisters.

Oh man, officially crossing the 3rd trimester line already... Nooo.. Not so fasttt!!

Doc pointed out on my excesive weight gain the last month (which of course I blame solely on all the raya food!) and I have been given a subtle watch it warning. Can you imagine? Me?? Getting a warning to not eat so much?! Hahaha!

I am impressed that the Little Dude / Duddette is almost 1kg already! Scan showed s/he is growing on track unlike J who was always smaller than what she was supposed to be. And look at her now, almost as tall as her Kakak! Tsk.. Goes to show.. Nothing to worry about. Alhamdulillah.

And I leave you with the cutest picture of Little Baby, going all grumpy when the specialist was prodding trying to get the best angle during the detailed scan.. See if you can detect it. :)

26 Weeks

First picture of Little Baby at 23 weeks in-utero...

sungguh la macam kakak-kakak dia. :)

We actually did the 3D scan before raya, but I haven't picked up the CD from the clinic to date. Sungguh la tak bermotivasi kan?

And I have not been jotting down much stuff this time around. No idea? No mood? Same old - same old? Whatever it is, Mommy is so sorry Little Baby. Please don't think Mommy loves you any less than your Kakaks..

The differences between this pregnancy and the previous ones mainly revolves around me. I think all my babies were good babies (of course which mother would say otherwise!) and everything is going according to the timeline, Alhamdulillah. According to the scan, all is well. S/he is developing as a baby should. Sempurna sifatnya. But we could see Little Baby wasn't a happy bunny during the scan, muka masam mencebik kalah Kak Jannah ok! And refused to let us see his / her total face. Kept covering it with the hands. Sama macam the incident where Doc Kham was trying to see the gender, Little Baby siap kepit cross legs bagai ni tak nak tunjuk. Hahaha!

Anyway, the differences. I think it is because I am getting older. So makin penat, makin tak larat. I can just conk out at any time / place. The leg pain thing (sciatica) is back and worse than before! I am putting on a whole lotta weight! (Granted I can blame it on all the raya food but still.. ) Next appointment is due next week and hopefully all my stats (sugar, BP, weight gain) are all within the normal range.

[oh, just read up again on sciatica. apparently what I have is not sciatica but pelvic girdle pain (PGP)]

I've got about 3 months left of being pregnant. And suddenly, it feels like time is flying so fast! Ye lah sangat, first trimester haritu tak penyabo nak cepat kan? :P
